About

Sonya is a certified occupational therapist who graduated from the University of Ottawa, where she earned a master’s degree in 2022 and a bachelor’s degree in health sciences in 2020. She has completed additional training in workplace ergonomics, self-compassion, and sleep. She primarily works with clients covered by the CNESST, SAAQ, and veterans’ programs. Her approach focuses on rehabilitation, return to work, and overall well-being.

Passionate about physical activity, she actively incorporates it into her clinical practice. She is particularly interested in promoting physical activity among older adults. She currently co-leads a physical activation group for a diverse audience. This project inspired her to develop a group tailored to the needs of the geriatric population.
